I had a blast with my students and children creating YouTube videos my students could watch and replicate at home! We used the channel for everything from read-a-louds to experiments to baking.

This year we began a sustainable forestry program that engaged students to learn about the pine trees natural to Idaho. Students learn to identify these trees through a dichotomy lesson from Project Learning Tree. They learn to measure the trees using math and scale through the measurement of their own shadow and the tree's shadow. Students study tree cookies, write a story about their tree cookie and learn to identify tree damage.

Students final project includes collecting ponderosa, lodge pole and western pine cones. Students dry and harvest the seeds then plant.  Trees will then be planted the following fall.

Using technology, I was able to co-teach a class to my students in Idaho and a class of students in India at the same time.  We did an elk heart dissection and talked about structure and function of living systems as well as had a great conversation about the ways that our environments (habitats) are different in different spots on the planet. This was a great collaboration opportunity that was made possible during the pandemic!

An investigation a 5th grade class loved doing at home was investigating the best way to "clean" the green off the Statue of Liberty. Pennies, salt, and vinegar were materials they all had at home, and they loved sharing their results at our next online meeting. It was the perfect way for me to integrate ELA , social studies, and science.

As an instructional coach, my job focused on helping teachers find resources and ideas for students to keep doing hands-on science investigations at home. Luckily, science is everywhere! One of the resources I created was this folder of at home investigations for grades K-8. Both indoor and outdoor projects are included, and I linked in picture books that could connect to lessons for primary grades. The folder is linked below.

Hi, My name is Adrienne Shilling and I teach chemistry to HS students at Idaho Virtual Academy. While the pandemic didn't change a lot for me it did for many of my students. Each year I try to do something that allows students to explore the amazing Periodic Table of Elements, always giving choice. This year many wrote songs, memorized the PT song, created illustrated PTs, carried out investigations etc and then shared. This is just a screenshot of how they put it together adding links to their own projects. They chose to order their projects by student initials.
